Okay so I recently switched from windows when they force updated me to 11 while I was asleep. On windows I could get 120 frames on almost any game I played with the exact same hardware. I've narrowed down the issue to the graphics cards drivers through some trial and error. After trying all the avalable drivers default on the mint distro im still getting seconds per frame and massive performance issues. I'm using a "NVIDIA Corporation TU116 [GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER]". Before like I said I could play damn near anything at at least 60fps now I'm lucky if a game loads entirely and the performance typically looks like this:

The Driver I've had the best sucess with is the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau driver. I've even tried downloading official nvidia linux drivers from the website but at best I can now get 10 frames a second with the xserver driver.

If I can't find a solution at the very least, what new graphics card do you guys recommend I'm using mint btw.

i dont know if this is the right place but i ran into problems for that i cant find any documentation

On NixOS using a flake, launcher works, game works, for about 5-10 minutes, and then amd gpu ring timeout happens and resets. Crashing game

AMD 9070XT AMD Ryzen 9950x3d

This is the only game that does this. I assume because its early access? but I have heard nothing but success on this subreddit about this game so idk

With the upcoming new Steam Frame hardware from Valve, they want to get as many games as possible running - and there's multiple ways for developers to do it.

A point-and-click parody of Les Misérables. Could be a fun one to keep an eye on if you love classic adventure games with modern touches.

literally just changed from Xubuntu to pop_os 24.04 and the download speed just dropped like crazy, it's taking around 30 minutes to download CS2 for example and I don't know why, my pc is a Omen 16L desktop (I haven't changed anything so it's still stock)

Hi y'all. Just recently released the Linux build for my game.

Lenrual is a weird environmental puzzle game.
If you're into a mini-myst-like with ghibli/Journey-esque aesthetics and The Witness style interactions, you might like this.

You can check it out on Steam here:

It seems it will be easier to be Steam Machine Verified when compared with Steam Deck Verified, according to a Valve designer speaking with Game Developer.

More improvements coming for ray-tracing performance with Mesa. There was recently mentioned other work, most recent involves compiling any-hit/intersection shaders separately, which leads to massive improvements.

I did some additional investigation on Linux (Arch Linux + ProtonGE) and noticed an interesting behavior worth sharing.

While monitoring logs, I observed that the game frequently executes the SGDTinstruction. The spam is so heavy that the kernel had to suppress the output to prevent log flooding:

https://preview.redd.it/nrgenn2diidg1.png?width=1113&format=png&auto=webp&s=936204557da3e4091a33aaae9ec0e52e46d91d63

SGDT is a low-level x86 instruction often associated with environment probing, anti-tamper, or DRM-related logic. On systems with UMIP (User-Mode Instruction Prevention) enabled, this instruction is blocked in user space and handled via "expensive software emulation" in the kernel.

Executing this "expensive" emulation in a tight loop during gameplay creates significant CPU overhead, which likely contributes to:

• Frametime Spikes & Intermittent FPS drops
• Abnormal CPU usage
• Higher CPU temperatures (I observed spikes up to 90°C during stutter events)

Additional Observation: When testing with the kernel parameter: clearcpuid=514 (or using clearcpuid=umip to effectively disable UMIP), stuttering was noticeably reduced and frametime appeared more stable on the test system.

For those using GRUB, you can test this by adding the parameter to your config: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash clearcpuid=umip"

This may indicate that the performance hit is related to CPU feature probing or environment checks, though this was only observed on Linux + Proton.

I’m trying to set up a PC with an AMD 7800X3D and AMD 7900 XTX as a “console-like” gaming system connected to my TV with Bazzite (Big Picture mode, controller, etc.). Overall it works great, but I can’t get the PC to output 4K at 144Hz, which the screen is supposed to support.

The system is stuck at 4K 60Hz. If I drop the resolution to 1440p or 1080p, 144Hz works without any issues.

I’ve already tried swapping the cable to a verified HDMI 2.1 cable that I know can do 4K 120Hz on my main rig, which uses an LG C2 as a monitor. That system runs CachyOS with an NVIDIA 5090 and an AMD 9950X3D, and it works perfectly there.

At this point I’m a bit stuck. Is it a limitation with Bazzite? Would it be better if i also ran CachyOS on this PC?

Any insight would be appreciated.
